METHOD OF INSTRUCTION 159 up deficiencies in the work of the winter session during tlje spring course in such branches as are represented in that course. COURSE OF STUDY* The curriculum required for graduation extends over four years. During the first two years the work is confined to the sciences fundamental to practical medicine. During the freshman year this consists of work in histology, biology, embryology, chemistry, human anatomy, physiology, and materia medica. During the sophomore year the study of physiology, chemistry, and human anatomy is continued, and in addition the student takes up pathology, bacteriology, and therapeutics. With the junior year the study of the practical branches of medicine is begun. The entire subjects of practice of medicine, surgery, and obstetrics are covered in recitation courses. The student also begins clinical and bedside work and receives instruction in medical and surgical specialties. More advanced work along the same lines is continued in the senior year. Practice of medicine, surgery, and obstetrics are gone over again, this time in lecture courses and with greater minuteness of detail and profuseness of illustration. The various special departments of medicine and surgery are presented with like thoroughness, and a large part of the student's time is given to clinical study. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION During the first two years the time of the students is about equally divided between laboratory and didactic work. The plan of instruction in the College contemplates the freest use of laboratory teaching. Wherever possible practical laboratory work is made to supplement didactic teaching. Students are taught not only by prepared specimens, but they are required to prepare their own specimens from the original material, and are thus made familiar with technical methods, so that they become able independently to carry a technical investigation through all of its stages. During lha junior and senior years the time is about equally divided • For Combined Undergraduate and Medical course of six years, leading to the degree of B.S. and M.D., see p. 123.
